Mastika is a liqueur seasoned with mastic, a resin gathered from the mastic tree, a small evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region. A variant is Mastiha, which is produced on the Greek island of Chios and has a protected designation of origin in the European Union.

The name of the resin, whence the name of the drink, is derived from the Greek “to chew, to gnash the teeth”
